purposefully not writing a title @01:49 AM

So I'm figuring out that I don't like trying to glue independently working code together into a uber-program. Essentially, there are 3 or 4 pieces of this puzzle, and I've solved all of them individually. Putting them all together is proving to be more difficult (unsurpisingly).

but it's getting done. I've got the compass talking to the map and the zones correctly, and interpolating between the angles so it's not totally abrupt to shift angles. So it's all synced up and integrating the GPS code should be relatively trivial -- I'd just rather be focusing on the less-tedious elements of this project right now, especially since I have to finish by this weekend sometime to test it out. I'm also still highly dubious that this entire process of integrating the compass data is going to help the experience at all. It's jumpy, which is solved a bit by the interpolation, but that process adds a pretty significant lag. Anyway, it'll get done, but I dread (wryly relish) the thought that I coded all this up for no (tangible) result.

Also this weekend: sound.

Came up with some pretty nice stuff, I think -- mostly based on simple DSP convolution, fourier transforms, and comb filters. I've found that simply piping through the recorded sounds 'as are' into the software creates a sort of auto-dynamics w/ the way I've set the filters up. Will master these tomorrow AM, and then that part should be good to go.

so no new images for now -- think audio.
